Just as back then, here is a story that will make the hair on the back of your head RISE:
Twas a very foggy night. Mum sent me to the grocery store to fetch a bottle of milk and a box of baby diapers for baby Grundyke.
i left the house and was down the road for about a quarter of a mile or so.
Just at that moment i remembered i had left my jacket on the back of my arm chair.
twas a nip of cold in the nights air.
i looked slightly to my left and saw a swift flashing light of green and blue. At first the lights were at a distance, and slowly started right at me at a high rate of speed. I was so scared i got out of my car and took about three steps and i froze in motion. My feet were about four feet off the ground. I was weightless. The only part of my body i was able to move was my eyes.
Then i was approached by a figure of a man. A man not of this world. His head was large and his eyes were silver in color with green inner colors. He had tiny little ears and a large hole for a nose. The nose cavity was leaking a green slime of snot. His mouth was very small. His teeth were filthy and looked like an old service station oil rag.
His ears were like the ears of a gold fish. I remember him looking to his left and mumbling a strange noise.
Then another figure came into view. it was a female from another world. Her features were much the same as the man except she had a pinkish liquid comming out of her nose that smelled of oxygen.
She came to me and a tenicle from her forehead came out and she guided it through my ear. it went into my ear and through my brain. Even though there was no pain in the brain, my head was dead. A loom of doom.
The tinicle was retracted from my brain and ear as the male floated over to the female.
The female beings tinicle was bound with redish wax from deep within my ear.
The male being began to extract his lips and lick my ear wax from her tinicle. his lips were big and greenish purple and shaped like a garlic clove. His breath smelled of onions, mixed with skunk oil.
His eyes began to change colors and two of his teeth fell onto the ground.
The female came up to me and said she now had all the information she gathered from my brain, put into a computer chip in her brain and could now comunicate with me.
she said her name was Philis and they were from another galaxy far, far away.
i ask her if they were going to harm me. She said they were friendly people and just passing through looking for plopez, which is a fuel they use for their space ship.
we then floated straight up for about twenty five feet or so and went inside the space ship.
Just to my right side was a computer that looked like a thirty six inch television set.
I could see that they were downloading illegal mp3 music from the net.
The lady from another world said they had permission from the President of the planet Ziptoetoc to download it and they would not reproduce, sell, or give coppies to pirates on the high seas.
i told them i would except that, and not turn them over to the s p c a, and they were happy.
she poured me a cup of tea, and we began to visit.
She put two table spoons of ground garlic into her cup of tea.
i ask her if she had ever tried sugar in her tea and she ask, what is sugar?
i told her i woud be glad to go to the grocery store and get them a bag.
She was so happy because from their planet there was no sugar.
She also told me her husband had dibetes and could only have sweet n low.
she floated me to the door and i floated down to my car.
When i got to the store, i bought five pounds of sugar and a box of sweet n low.
i also got a quart of low fat milk, and a box of depends for my little brother, Grundyke.
as i was driving back to the location of the space ship, i was in a hurry.
I kept telling my self, speed kills.
I drove very carefully.
As i got back to the space ship, i shut off the engine of my car and set the emergency brake, i began to float upwards.
Again i was in the space ship and Phillis had made another pot of tea.
She added two tea spoons of sugar to her cup of tea and drank it all up.
She looked at me and said, this sugar stuff is great.
I replied, oh, i am so glad you like it.
Her husbands name was Milton.
Milton loves all kinds of music. Even country and blues.
He told me his teeth are in bad condition because back on their planet, all the men mow the grass and, when finished mowing the grass,
they have block partys and eat it with sweet bread.
Plillis and Milton told me the favorite drink on their planet is aligator milk.
Yuck, i explained.
I told them how dangerous they can be, and they replied, they are our pets on our planet.
I answered, oh, that is nice.
Just at that moment, i remembered, my lunch break was about over at the factory, and i must return to work soon.
They understood and told me they realy injoyed the visit.
Again they floated me back to my car and i was on my way back to work.
To this day i will never know why there is a bottle of milk and a box of depends, in a grocery bag, sitting in the front seat of my car.
